Let's take a look at a maintenance kit designed to keep your blades sharp in the field and keep the rest of of your kit in good repair. I use a combination of tools to keep my edges sharp such a Fallkniven CC4, a ceramic rod, leather strops and more. Because we depend so heavily on our kit in he field, it only makes since to be able to repair cloth, condition wood and leather and to be able to keep the edges sharp. This will give you a short tutorial on how to sharpen (hone) your knife in the field using several different methods. We will also discuss what items I carry to keep my gear in good repair, to repair cloth gear and condition wood and leather items in my kit.

@ChuckHoward4 years agoGreat kit Matt. Depending on the knife, I also use the CC4, or the Spyderco Ceramic File Slip (Teardrop shape), or the Spyderco 4" X 2" inch ceramic slip stone sharpener with the leather pouch. All of these are either Fine or Extra Fine & I use them for honing only. I've also found that a white rectangular mechanical pencil eraser cleans the metal from these ceramics while in the field. About once a week I clean these with a plastic scotch Brite pad & some Barkeepers Friend Cleaner to get the extra fine ceramics back to a thoroughly cleaned pristine white surface. For my kitchen & larger fixed blades, I sometimes use the Green Elephant sharpening rod to bring out the razors edge before I go camping. Keep up the great videos! They are very appreciated ...2

@StevePage14 years agoThank you, Matt. I appreciate that your videos express a humility that makes you come across as approachable and caring. That's something that is hard to fake, so I'm sure that you're much the same in person. Thank you for taking a potentially daunting task and presenting it in a simply, easy-to-understand format. Please keep producing more of these high-quality videos! ...3

@
@joeday44984 years agoI love seeing your videos. You always have a slightly different take on techniques and standards, which I appreciate. Specifically, that you home your cutting tools daily in the field. I haven't heard that from anyone else. Keep up the videos, don't be discouraged. Your work is very much appreciated. ...
@
@bombproofbushcraft4 years agoHey Matt! Thanks for sharing the techniques. Quick question. I know most people love scandal for the fixed blade knives. I always used one myself until I started using the knives I currently carry (Dan Ferguson/Jeff White). There was a bit of a learning curve to get used to the different grind, but now I love it. So the question is, why does everyone like to use the scandi grind? Honestly, I just used the scandi because it was what everyone said to use but never heard the reason why. Thanks again for sharing your skills. Take care! ...

@johnfoster44144 years agoGreat advice. Do what works for you. I have for over 60 years. Works every time. 1
@
@eqlzr24 years agoI rather like ceramic stones and have a couple medium-sized ones I got with a chip-carving set a long time ago. Eventually they get pretty discolored with metal residue, and I found that scouring powder like Chlorox with water and a toothbrush clean them up well. Many thanks. ...

@Taffwildmanofthewoods4 years agoWe all forget the little things that can be so important just when you need them most. Stay safe atb Taff 🤠
@
@Winchparts4 years agoNice kit. One thing I would add especially if you are carrying an axe is a 6 inch chainsaw raker file. I prefer the Stihl ones as they are very high quality and reasonably priced if you get them from your local saw shop. Add a small leather square for a guard and you are good to go. ...

@stephensgate14 years agoMatt, where did you buy the ceramic rod? I am interested in getting one if you could kindly point me to where to buy one. -Stephen, Ohio 🇺🇸
@
@tony71064 years agoWould something like Palmers Cocoa Butter work like that gixin wax? Random thought
@
@richardulicotte72104 years agoCould not help, nut notice that when you draw your blade away from you that shadow you mentioned returns as you reach the curve and tip of the blade. Maybe something to work on. Thanks for the advise of the repair kit. Would not have thought of the wax. Take care. ...

@dillardwinters48824 years agoProbably great knifes , but looks like shit.
